Growing Wiresystem
Walking through the streets of Taiwan, I found many concrete buildings with protruding rebars buried in the early stages of construction to facilitate the subsequent construction of the buildings that share the walls. Which gives me some inspiration and imagination, can wires grow to form spaces and buildings?
Nowadays, technology can also be used to print metal using robotic arms. The arms can be customised to build and at the same time be adapted to on site digital fabrication. With such inspiration and technological possibilities, I began to imagine the possibilities of the spatial composition of the wire system.
The design will be centred around the study of how wires can be controlled as an architectural system. In this case, an unused gap between two street houses next to the Liuchuan River in Taichung is used as an example. Using parametric tools, I experiment with the form, structure, materials, construction methods and space experience to control and select from them.
